A 37-year-old male, a U.S. citizen, has been taken into custody and turned over to the U.S. Fish and Wildife Service, charged with illegally importing raw meat. CBP officers seized a total of 159 pounds of iguana meat, which is believed to have a street value of $4,500.

Last March, Customs and Border Protection discovered nearly 58 pounds of iguana meat in the city of Laredo, on the Texas-Mexico border.
